Will You Be Sent to Jail for a Conviction?

If you have a BAC over 0.08 you can be
arrested for DUI. The penalties you face from the state of Alabama depends on a variety
of factors, including any property damage, level of your
BAC, and the number of
previous offenses on your record.

This jail time is in addition to heavy fines and a potential
driver's license suspension. Alabama has a five-year "look-back" period meaning your DUI
offense will be charged as a second DUI offense if the conviction is within
five years of the previous one.
